Nihil Obstat Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Like most strong medicines, the Eucharist can be harmful or even deadly to a person who receives it recklessly and without discernment. I think Ms. Germanotta would do well to remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I don't know much about Lady Gaga, but I heard her do an interview on the radio once and she came across as really cool and down to Earth. I was pretty surprised given how big of a celebrity she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven77 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I always feel sorry for celebrities. I think that Jesus always looks at them with “a heart full of pity.” Prayers that she gets hit with the Holy Spirit, (the power that made the veil in the Temple rip, as Father Stan Fortuna would say) this Pentecost.

Guest Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Singer Lady Gaga has hit back at a Catholic blogger who insinuated she is a hypocrite for sharing her Christian faith while living an “obscene life”. The 30-year-old challenged the author of an article entitled ‘From Lady Gaga to Steph Curry: 5 Things to Remember When Celebrities Share Their Faith’ featured on Catholic Link. The article came days after Lady Gaga posted a photo of herself and a priest sharing the eucharist, thanking him for teaching that “eucharist is not a prize for the perfect but the food that God gives us”. “It has become somewhat of a trend for celebrities to share their faith,” wrote Becky Roach, author of the article. “Many celebrities are sharing Bible verses, quoting priests, and singing Christian music while at the same time still leading a typical Hollywood lifestyle void of Christian values such as modesty and purity.” Lady Gaga replied: “Dear Becky Roach, Mary Magdalene washed the feet of Christ and was protected and loved by him. A prostitute. Someone society shames as if she and her body are a man’s trash can. He loved her and did not judge. He let her cry over him and dry his feet with the hair of a harlot. We are not just “celebrities” we are humans and sinners, children, and our lives are not void of values because we struggle. We are as equally forgiven as our neighbor. “God is never a trend no matter who the believer,” the singer wrote. (Not Lady Gaga's fault but probably a Pope to blame for this mix up) Edited May 11, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicanHeart Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I commend her. She started to grow on me when she did the Sound of Music tribute at that Awards show. Was it the Oscars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he didn't call the righteous at all, not even to repentance. The righteous weren't even worthy of repentance.

The righteous weren't even worthy of repentance. Those righteous were also all sinners. Lady Gaga as much as everyone else would be called to "sin no more". Which necessitates an absolute, unconditional rejection of her scandalous public persona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
